The US squandered the unipolar moment of the 90s and Oslo accords to make a Palestinian state, with all the safeguards they and the Israelis wanted, that could have solidified the global order the US had hoped to create in the Middle East.
Now the US’ complicity in what has happened since (over the past 30 years), leaves open the space for Russia and China to come in and create an order that may not be as amenable to US and Israeli concerns.
Look at what is happening in Saudi. Emotions are high. People would not have dared think to talk this way to rulers before. The whole Middle East / international order is in flux. They have been put in a bind and are facing a crisis of legitimacy.
The Egyptian authorities are even squashing small protests in support of Gaza for fear that larger ones may form and the government be overthrown the way it was in 2011.
The same fear is there for the Jordanian king and his government.

The former Tunisian president (a leftist) said, the “Arab Volcanoes” will erupt.
